Network Maintenance and Optimisation

Background

Exbyte Team collaborates with water utilities to process recorded data and discover hidden patterns, in order to support oper-ational decision making. The project aims to dynamically optimise the network operation to meet key performance indicators for continuity of supply, quality, energy and costs.

Technologies

Water quality analysis

• Spatial-temporal analysis
• Water age estimation
• Impact of water age on water quality
• Impact of operational changes on water quality

Chemical dosing optimisation

• Water quality prediction
• Additional sites optimization
• Chemical dosing optimization

Energy saving at subsystem and whole system scales

• Factor analysis
• Joint optimization
• Demand prediction
• Risk analysis

Outcomes

• Water quality map of residual total chlorine level for the water distribution network.
• Predictive model of daily demand patterns for individual reservoir zones and the whole system .
• Optimised chlorine dosing strategy of volume and timing for water quality management.
• Impact of reservoir operational windows on water quality and energy management.
• Advanced operational protocol of reservoir pumping and valve controlling for energy management.
• Data requirements to improve certainty and optimisation for water quality and energy management.
